Firefox allows far more control over your privacy than does Chrome (or even Chromium on which Chrome is based). Not jut because it doesn't come with Google stuff embedded, but also because it allows complete control over things like webRTC (which can leak info about your IP address, hardware), whereas Chrome/Chromium and related browsers don't have this control.

Extremely customizable, open sourced, uses less hardware resources, emphasis on privacy and security when browsing the web. Made by the people, for the people.jacobsmith_16 • Oct 2017

It is a graphical web browser. Which in my experience shows the web pages with higher quality than google chrome. Sometimes some elements of the web page don't work in google chrome.mohammadghasemi • Sep 2016

Since Quantum Firefox has been outperforming Chrome in every way. Add to that the fact it allows for excellent privacy control, which other browsers don't do as well, and you get a winner.

Basically it's still open source with the original Navigator look and feel. All in one browsing and email if you use SeaMonkey.

Firefox is a good alternative to Chrome, allowing you to get back your privacy.jeanchristophe2 • Apr 2018Disagree Agree

It is more protective of your data and noe exceeds Chrome on most technical issuesUser3410851 • Apr 2018Disagree Agree

However it is open source and the privacy is better, the consumption of RAM is huge, try yourself: open just one tab with Whatsapp Web, and you will see Firefox using 1GB of RAM!sidboy • Jun 2017

Brave is an effort to make a Chrome-like experience based on the Chromium code base and remove/block all the spyware Google put in to monitor your online activity. Brave is good, but it's not as good/flexible as Iridium.JohnFastman • Dec 2016

It's good and fast, but makes it really better than Chrome is that it is developed with security and privacy in mind. I use it on my phone and my laptop, and I'd never switch to anything else

It's good. But Chrome has a lot of extensions. If you're used to use many extension and if you want to continue using those extensions, this is not a good solution for you.

Privacy protections by default like fingerprint and tracker blocking. Even script blocking if desired. Each privacy option is configurable for each page. It's only missing an option to sync or export browsing history and bookmarks (though I can see these features interfere with "perfect" privacy)
Guest • Nov 2017Disagree Agree

Fewer options, Chromium under the hood, built in ad blocker, no risk of installing garbage through the WebStore. Only problem: no user scripts!
Guest • Feb 2018Disagree Agree

Mouse gestures (actions are customizable), click and drag to search selection in a new tab (or just to open links/images), built-in notepad, last session page (lists all the tabs you had open last session) and it even sends your data to China, oh wait

It is user-friendly, has extremely fast downloads compared to Chrome and generally is just more fun to use.T_Kaze • Dec 2016

Chromium browser that can use plugins from the Google webstore but unlike Google Chrome it will also accept plugins not obtained through Google's webstore. Supports the cloud syncing of bookmarks. It also ships with a number of useful plugins such as a web video downloader.ichimitch • Oct 2016Disagree Agree
